John Kogel Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 I had a hatch about 11 feet above the garage floor. I could have done it with my folding ladder. Yeah probably shoulda.

Jim Katen Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 You really can't appreciate how hard concrete is until you experience it at 32 feet per second.

John Kogel Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Posted June 18, 2015 I scared myself, imagining a full collapse, always possible. That is why I posted the pics. It would have taken 2 minutes to go for my tall ladder. Then today, 8 foot ceiling, the Telly was ladder of choice once again. Click to Enlarge 36.1 KB Click to Enlarge 49.91 KB

Rob Amaral Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Please junk those ladders ... The extra effort required to use a LG for the same job will give you a bit more exercise any way.. (that's fine with me)... Those ladders have an inherently bad name.. "Collapsible'..!!
Jim Baird Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 John, I thought I was the one who could wiggle into impossible angles to get through openings, but this one I'm not sure I could make it through.

Please switch to transistors, much safer. [] I appreciate your words of caution but can't give up the telescoping ladder completely. Will keep it at 8 feet or less though.
